For Man-to-Woman Marriages

Today (June 7), I've just submitted my opinion to the CBS forum on the United States' constitutional amendment that bans gay marriage. It reads:

“I am in favor of the constitutional amendment that bans gay marriage. Besides a Christian, I have got the following anthropological considerations:

The human race has been preserved and propagating with man-to-woman marriage for at least thousands of years. No scientific study or analysis could disprove the importance of such a social norm. If this norm is threatened simply because somebody claims it is NOT democratic enough, it is very unscientific and DANGEROUS (c.f. super germs and environmental pollutions subsequent to the discovery of penicillin and the industrial revolution -- NOBODY could anticipate the shortfall coming with apparent short term solutions!). We should safeguard the man-to-woman marriage norm.

The world is currently endangered by the spread of AIDS, possible pandemics like SARS and the bird flu. More unfortunately, NO country on earth has a 100% sure solution to either prevent or cure the potentially hazardous situations created by the widespread of such diseases, not to mention that many UNDERDEVELOPED countries are simply UNPREPARED AND INCAPABLE of dealing with any major outbreak such as to contain them from further spreading. Unfortunately, the gay community is found to be a prominent sector with a high threat (risk) towards AIDS. Thus, we should not blindly push for something such as gay marriage (hence safeguarding the man-to-woman marriage is important) unless we have a scientifically proven solution to heal and prevent the spread of AIDS, etc.

Technologies such and cloning, test-tube babies and sperm donors have imparted a serious threat to the ensured propagation and sustainability of the human race because our scientists admit that NO ONE can guarantee there will be NO unforeseeable or harmful consequences from such technologies to the human race. Furthermore, we have already been faced with such challenges as behavioral problems of single-parent children and problems of unknown parent(s) as a result of unscrupulous marriages and sperm donations.”

I am happy to hear your views especially your solution towards a really harmonious and healthy human relationship for the sustainable development of our race on earth. Regards and blessings.
